What a Dog Wants
When Freckles and I are out walking, I have noticed that there are so many of what I call "caged-in dogs" in the neighborhood. These poor animals seem to scream out at us as we walk by, "please, won't you spend some time with me". What a dog wants from you is to know that you will love and care for him and spend some time with him. Unfortunately, there are a great many dogs that are in this type of situation. Once they are brought home from a shelter as a puppy and have grown out of their puppy stage, it seems, though not intentionally, that the family, have become bored with the new member of the family. At first, the little puppy felt like he was a part of the family and that it was going to be like this all the time, meaning, that the children would constantly play with him, and that the adults would find it cute how he chewed on their fingers, clothing or other items around the house or in the yard.
Once the puppy phase is over, less attention is paid to the dog due to everyday demands that life puts upon us. After a while, the adult dog that was so cute and playful in the beginning may have become large and grown into a very adult dog with gigantic paws and excitement to match. Now you may find yourself with a dog that is requiring a great deal more of your attention than what you are willing to give. What a dog wants is your companionship, not to be left alone, bored and frustrated in the back yard tied up. A dog's mental health is just as important as his physical health. You may be feeding your dog that is tied up and giving him a pat on the head and saying "good boy or girl", but that isn't enough.
Physical abuse is the number one cruelty you can do to a dog, but the mental abuse that the dog is suffering is equally as bad. It is true that our laws say that the basic care of a dog is food, water, and shelter, it is duly noted that the dog's mental health must also be taken into consideration. Our dogs need socialization just like we humans in order to have a healthy mental state. Since society has come to have dogs in their homes as part of the family, the dogs no longer have the ability to run in packs to get the attention, socializing and affection that they need in order to survive a long, healthy mental life.
What a dog wants is for you to be his pack leader. After all, you chose him to be a part of your family.
